CURRENT LITERATURE.

Book-Lore : a Magazine Devoted to Old-Time Literature. (Elliot Stock.)—This is the sixth volume of this very readable magazine. It does not, we see, rigidly limit itself to the kind of matter indicated in its title-page. On the contrary, we find some details of how quite modern authors are accustomed to work, how Mr. D. C. Murray takes infinite pains with a single sentence, and Mr. R. L. Stevenson dreams his plots.
